An introduction

[yukinojou]

I'm Beth. I've been interested in Takarazuka since 2006, and currently I have a decent collection of media, as well as memories of a trip to Japan to see the shows for myself in summer 2009.

My favourite troupe is Snow, and my One and Only is Ichiro Maki. The name of this journal comes from her role in the Takarazuka version of Yukinojou no Henge; depending on the kanji, it can also mean "snow girl".

I like small shows. I like meta-commentary. I like the TakaWiki a whole lot, because it's a godssend for people with very (very) limited knowledge of Japanese. (I'm working on it. I don't have as much time for it as I'd like.)

There is a glossary here, for terms you may not know (trust me, I'm learning new ones all the while as well). There are reviews, and fangirling, and links. Everything else is in bwinter, my primary journal - Takarazuka is by far not the only interest of mine and I thought it better to separate those ramblings from other things.

*waves* Hello! I've seen you around the Taka communities on LJ (the one here is kind of dead, sadly).

I will admit to not knowing much of Snow Troupe (aside from following my darling Yumiko), and not having seen Ichiro Maki in anything yet - something I hope to correct this year. There are things on "the list" that will help, I think. She is a very lovely lady, though.

I've seen more of Moon Troupe than anyone else, so if I have to be tied down to one troupe, they're it.

Hello! I thought I would say hi rather than just add you in silence :)
I was reading the comments on _leareth's most recent post where she talked about people's DW accounts, and randomly poking them, and then I saw yours was a Takarazuka journal. I have a couple of friends who are Takarazuka fans and I went to a show last year when I was in Japan and it was pretty awesome! I'm not really in the fandom fandom (if that makes sense) and I don't really know anything other that "wheee that was really cool christ that's hot" but I like reading about things :)
